altho there are some minor differences, i would say it's the real deal. considering the bracelet as a whole, i have yet to see a fake THAT good. there may be the remote possibility that part of the clasp was replaced with an amazing replica piece, but it would be very doubtful that a faker would get the deep stampings correct but misplace the location. more likely it is an original manufacture variation that is not usually seen.
i have to disagree with john about uneasy feelings and i rarely trust knee-jerk gut reactions. emotions aside, critical thinking along with past experiences with watches and bracelets can be a better guide rather than feelings, and never pass on something unless 100% sure it's fake as one may miss out on an unusual or very well priced piece.
